Why writing is so important?

Pen down your thoughts and feelings—Writing is a way for leading a healty physical and emotional life.

Writing is a brain-stimulating activity – A new study found that reading books, writing, following your hobbies are brain-stimulating activities at any age. It improves memory, focus, mood & many more.

This is very true. I’ve recently started writing a lot more (it’s been about a year) and it’s made me feel a lot more fulfilled. Jotting my ideas down and seeing them all on paper is a happy feeling for me, and makes me feel like I’m doing something. For some reason, it also makes me more confident when I express my opinion about something (I suppose this is because I reinforce it by writing it down, and in doing so, reassure myself of what my values are.)

I have always used writing or pen to paper as my mind becomes overloaded, my best therapy but I am beginning to realise how much it can help others by reading what you have wrote. Can I share and place under other peoples words on my website, alongside your post relating to memory.
